The Hawaiian movement for self-determination was forever changed by the fierce and unapologetic leadership of the late Haunani-Kay Trask. A loving obituary written by one of Trask’s mentees explores her powerful legacy.
In her book, From a Native Daughter: Colonialism and
Sovereignty in Hawai‘i, Haunani-Kay took on the tourism industry and the
“prostitution” of Hawaiian culture, the desecration, and ecocide
committed by the U.S. military on Hawaiian land, and the
haole-settler-colonial systems of power and economy.
